Looking forward to: Hearing little bean's heart beat on Wednesday. :-) ....And The Real Housewives of New Jersey premier lol

Pregnancy is not always roses and butterflies. Although, most of this pregnancy has been a breeze I do have some days where it is not so easy. These past few days have been quite exhausting on me mentally and physically. I'm learning that I cannot do everything. It is okay to ask for help and it is okay to rest a little and not always be on the go. :-)

So many people ask me how I'm feeling, especially with it being so hot. They ask if I am miserable. Honestly, I couldn't be any happier. The heat doesn't get to me as much as it did when I wasn't pregnant. I am really embracing this time in my life. I am so overwhelmed with joy. I am obsessed with being a mom. It is THE BEST part of who I am. If I ever have a moment of feeling blah and sad I look at my 3 beautiful children and this growing belly and smile. Life can only go up from here.
